Re-running Auto Takeoff/Boost will not produce different Results.
Unless you change Page Scale or replace the underlying image file with one of significantly higher resolution, rerunning Auto Takeoff/Boost will produce the same results.
Notice in the example below, we moved all the Auto Takeoff/Boost Conditions out of the "Boost" folder and then re-ran Auto Takeoff/Boost, the results are exactly the same.
Resurrecting Auto Takeoff/Boost Conditions or takeoff...
If you have deleted one or more Auto Takeoff/Boost takeoff objects or Conditions and you later realize you need after all, open the Cover Sheet of the Project/Bid, duplicate the Page on which you want to re-run Auto Takeoff/Boost, delete all the takeoff on the duplicate page, and then re-run Auto Takeoff/Boost. Auto Takeoff/Boost recreates all its Conditions and takeoff, exactly like the original. From there, you can copy/paste to the original Page and then delete the duplicate Page.

Takeoff Boost’s tools use Artificial Intelligence to provide results. It is your responsibility to verify results to ensure accuracy.
Use of Takeoff Boost™ tools requires uploading of some or all of your project plans. Ensure you have the legal right to do so. Please see the following Master Service Agreement for more information.
Running Auto Takeoff/Boost on a Page with existing Auto Takeoff/Boost takeoff
You can re-run Auto Takeoff/Boost on a Page on which you have already run it, if you select different Condition Results.
Takeoff Boost dialog box, prior to 12/18/2025
Auto Takeoff/Boost dialog box, after 12/18/2025
In the Auto Takeoff/Boost dialog box, simply uncheck any Results already delivered by the service and then click "Run Auto Takeoff/Boost".
If you attempt to run Auto Takeoff/Boost on a Page on which you've already run it for the selected Condition Results, and you have not renamed the Conditions nor moved the Takeoff Boost Conditions out of the "Auto Takeoff/Boost" folder, the following warning displays:
There are a few things to understand about re-running Boost:
- You can re-run Auto Takeoff/Boost if you select different Results from the previous time(s) you ran it.
- Example 1: the first time ran Auto Takeoff/Boost, let’s say we only selected "Walls". We can re-run Auto Takeoff/Boost as long as we do not select "Walls" again. If you want to run it again with "Walls", you must rename the Auto Takeoff/Boost Conditions or delete all associated takeoff.
- So, the next time we run Auto Takeoff/Boost, we can select Counts or Areas (any combination).
- Example 2: let's say that we ran Auto Takeoff/Boost on Counts for Windows only. We can re-run Counts for Plumbing Fixtures and Other, but not for Windows.
- Example 1: the first time ran Auto Takeoff/Boost, let’s say we only selected "Walls". We can re-run Auto Takeoff/Boost as long as we do not select "Walls" again. If you want to run it again with "Walls", you must rename the Auto Takeoff/Boost Conditions or delete all associated takeoff.
- You can re-run Auto Takeoff/Boost if you rename the Auto Takeoff/Boost Conditions, move them out of the Auto Takeoff/Boost folder, or delete takeoff associated with those Conditions on this Page.
- We do not recommend deleting Auto Takeoff/Boost Conditions because you may have takeoff associated with them on other Pages in the Bid.
- Running Auto Takeoff/Boost on this Page does not affect other Pages except it re-creates any Auto Takeoff/Boost Conditions you previously deleted that are required on this Page.
- If you have renamed Auto Takeoff/Boost Conditions or deleted them, they will be re-added to the Project, but only this Page will have new Auto Takeoff/Boost takeoff on it.
- If you create a Condition in the Auto Takeoff/Boost folder, using a Auto Takeoff/Boost Condition Name (such as Wall, Ceiling, Door, or any possible Auto Takeoff/Boost Condition Name), and draw takeoff with it on the current Page, you must delete that takeoff, rename the Condition, or move it out of the Auto Takeoff/Boost folder before you can run or re-run Auto Takeoff/Boost using that Result.
- Auto Takeoff/Boost sees Conditions named with its reserved Names in the Auto Takeoff/Boost folder as its own.
- If you have gone through the process of renaming Conditions and reassigning takeoff and re-run Auto Takeoff/Boost, you will duplicate your takeoff results.
